《Spartan》Chapter 6: An awkward entrance
Advertisement
Some of you may be wondering, "The fuck? What kind of a name is 'Brono' for a god of light!" Well the truth is that I did some research a few months ago out of curiosity and found out that Brono is a Norse god of daylight, so I thought "meh, why not?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Thor was looking down at himself he couldn't help but marvel at the armour, it was without a doubt a fine piece of craftsmanship.
Even while wearing the armour he felt like he could do a triple back flip, it wasn't hindering his movements in the slightest. And he could feel the weight from the armour bearing down on his body. He guessed that it weighed at least 150kg, but this reassured him.
The more he weighed the harder his enemies would find it to move him, and it just felt better. A bit like a heavy stick feels like it could do more damage than a light stick. In simple terms.
Though even with the extra 150kg Thor didn't feel very bothered by the weight, as was the physical abilities of the Spartan.
Ares: "Hey kid, say 'Show titles', it should show you some interesting things about yourself."
Thor thought that it couldn't hurt.
'Show titles'
Titles:
The super soldier:
You have a body that was crafted for the sole purpose of killing and destruction.
Bloodthirsty savage:
You slaughtered 80 men and women with your bare hands, covering yourself in their blood.
The tortured one:
You have gone through years and years of pure agonising torture, torture of the likes of which very few of your world have ever gone through and lived.
Hell Riser:
You rose from the depths of hell, killing everything and everyone on your way.
Lone wolf:
You have been alone for almost the entirety of your life, enduring and rising over every challenge by yourself with no one else's help.
Forest dweller:
You have lived in the forest/jungle and lived off the land in the most natural form.
One of a kind:
You are the only one of your kind that has ever existed.
Martial arts master:
You have mastered several martial arts to the highest degree.
'Close titles' Thor would think on these later.

Thor looked up to see what the others had gotten, and realised that everyone was staring at him.
Harry held a thin short sword in his hand that was softly glowing white, and was staring at Thor in surprise. He looked at Thor's armour, then back at his sword and frowned.
Zeus: "Armour, how rare. And a full plated armour at that! You really scored with that kid didn't you Ares."
Ares: "Scored? Old man I got a lot more than a score here, that armour weighs 230kg. And he's wearing it like it's made out of cardboard. Not to mention his body is like it was made for the sole purpose of war."
Ares was looking at Thor in shock, in truth he was surprised when the boy could not only withstand his bloodlust, but stare straight back at him too. Ares hadn't even seen dragons who could do such a thing.
And once again he was surprised when the boy summoned a full set of armour as his spirit ability. There was only ever one other armour type spirit ability that was ever summoned and it was only arm guards, but this boy had full plate.
'Its going to be interesting to see where fate takes this boy.' Thought Ares amusedly.
Thor started scanning over what everyone else was blessed with, it seemed that only few were blessed with weapons, and he was the only one with armour.
Akane had a long bow made out of plant roots, Harry had his short sword, the guy called Jake was blessed with a black dagger and Mia had a staff with a glowing orb at the end.
'It seems that everyone else got abilities or enhancements' thought Thor.
Brono: "Okay everyone, gather round, gather round. It's time for me to send you to our realm, good luck and when in despair just think about your wish!"
Everyone walked over to where Brono was, and waited to be teleported with anticipation.
Thor looked at Ares who nodded back at him, Thor then walked over to where the God of light was herding everyone. When he reached him he joined the back of the group and crossed arms with a *clink*.
All the others had dismissed their abilities, but Thor thought his armour felt comfortable and safe so he kept it on. Also, he didn't know how to remove it. It didn't exactly have a zipper.

Brono waited until everyone was around him, then he started muttering something under his breath, causing the area around the class it glow softly.
Then the glow brightened exponentially and the students disappeared.
The gods all looked at each other and smiled.
Brono: "this will be entertaining."
Thor once again felt the nauseating experience of the washing-machine + stairs formula, but this time he was ready for it so he braced himself against it. Once he felt like he had reached the end of the tunnel he readied himself and waited until he left the end.
Once he appeared out the end he executed a quick somersault on the air to find his balance and landed on the ground with a loud *Clank* and an even louder *CRACK*.
Thor looked around only to see his classmates looking at him awkwardly, Thor looked ahead and saw an aged man wearing an elaborate crown with two men wearing shiny armour on either side of him, looking at Thor in surprise.
Thor briefly wondered why they were staring at him, and why such an awkward atmosphere was in the air, until he looked down.
It appears with the weight of Thor (130kg) and the added weight of the heavy armour, along with the g-force he created with the somersault caused him to hit the ground rather hard.
In fact, hard didn't quite cut it.
Thor landed on hard marble that had even been strengthened with the magic of this world, and made a large crater that had a radius of 3 meters, with cracks spreading all thought the large rectangle room they were in.
Thor awkwardly looked at the man who he assumed was the king from under his armour.
Thor: "Uhh, hmm, yeah, sorry about that. Well ah, if you look at it from a certain angle you can't even see the damage! Just a bit of a rub'n scrub and it'll be like it never existed. *cough*"
Thor awkwardly tried to fill the unbearable silence with a lame excuse.
One of the men in shiny armour turned to the king.
Shiny armour man: "My liege, I can't even put a scratch on that floor, even with a two handed war axe!"
At this the Kings eyes widened and he looked back at Thor who was looking at the floor like he thought he could fix it.
'Well, they didn't say this job would be easy.' The king thought to himself with a sigh.
King: "Ah yes, as I was saying to the other heroes armoured one, my name is Julian Goldhammer. I am the king of Rosenhime, the Kingdom that you are currently in."
At this point Thor had given up on the floor and walked over to the other heroes to listen to the king explain about the world.
King Julian: "I will now explain what happens in this world and about the laws of this world as was instructed by the gods...."
After this the king proceeded to tell the heroes about the world and its inhabitants, Thor was almost asleep by the end of it.
King Julian: ".... And that pretty much sums it all up."
King Julian finally finished explaining to the students about his world, but after seeing that they were all almost sleep he ordered the guards to instruct them to their sleeping quarters.
'Reminds me of my daughter, but that armoured fellow...' The king thought to himself.
Thor let himself get leaded off to their sleeping quarters, it seemed that all the boys would be sleeping in one room and all the girls in the other, this was so that if they got nervous they would still be surrounded by people they know.
Once Thor reached his room he felt like he could sleep like the dead, he pushed through then students who were all in a group talking about their situation. As he passed him Thor noted that Harry looked like he wanted to talk to him.
'I'll see what he wants in the morning.' Thor thought to himself.
But then Thor met his next predicament.
'How am I going to get out of this armour? Meh, it's pretty comfortable anyway."
He threw himself onto the bed, which caused it to snap in half.
But Thor had lost the ability to care, so he just let sleep grab ahold of him, entering into another nightmare...
